Change worker hourly rate for PS?

[Former Member]

Hi All.

In the reports of my sap PS project, I see that when adding a worker to an activity, there are some amounts of money in the accounting reports, which vary according to the hours of work (Work) that we put to the activity in the Project Builder, but where does that money / hourly rate charged by that person come from? For example: I assign "mr. John Brown" to the activity "Shop design" and I assign him 30 hours in work. Then, we look at the accounting report and I see that it costs 1300 euros for that work. It is clear that those 1300 have to do with the hours of work (30h) that we have put to that activity, but I don't know where the amount of money that is worth each hour comes from, could someone tell me? I remind you that I am working with sap ps if it is useful to say it.

Best regards

Hourly valuation bases are generated using the following formula:

Hourly valuation base = valuation base on a daily basis / scheduled working hours per day

I got some SPRO Path by which we can define annual salary :

Personnel Management > Personnel Administration > Payroll Data > Basic Pay > Define Annual Salary

1 . Define wage type for annual salary

2. Setup Multiplier

3. Wage type Characteristics

Set Indirect valuation module for wage type ASAL (Or custom wage type) to ANSAL. Since ASAL is standard, no real configuration is needed.

( Here we can set 'Hourly Rate' for ANSAL)

Adding to the mentor Paulo's response, if the rate is constant for all the people then, it might be defined at fixed rate per activity type in cost center. If the rates are varying among the person, then it might come from other SAP component such as CATS (Cross Application Time Sheet).

Hello Balasubramanian

thanks for your reply.

As far as i know in CATS you choose the quantity of confirmed hours, but not the prices, i want to know and change the money per hour that a person earns from work.

Thanks

It is possible to configure different task types/levels/components in CATS along with wage types. If CATS is implemented, pls check in the following tables for some settings:

TCATX_LEVELS

TCATX_COMPONENTS

TCATX_TASKTYPES

V_TCATX_LEVE2TYP

V_TCATX_COMP2TYP

V_TCATX_DEDUC

Are you asking about Planned costs or Actual Costs?

Hello, thanks for the responses.

Well, since I'm new into this, I'd say I'm interested in knowing the whole process in case I'm missing any steps in the whole process.

Hi A m,

In the line item CJI3N report you probably can find a credit entry on the partner object that is a Cost Center and Activity type.

Very likely it would be the same as in the Info Type 0315 for the respective HR number that you can check in the PA20 transaction.

The plan cost rate you can find in the KP26 t-code (better use KP27) for the combination of sender Cost Center and AType.

That rate might be revaluated at the month-end with KSII transaction if actual price calculation takes place.

In fact the 30 hours of work is part of the network cost planning and it can derive a different Cost Center and Activity type compared to the flow of actual values.

Regards,

Paulo
